Bacon grease works too. Plus it's good for your hands and feet. Wipe it on your skin and then use whatever is left on your long hair. If you don't have bacon you can use lard. Daniel Boone used bear grease on his skin and hair like the Indians.
Ohh interesting! I have been looking into shower products made completely from tallow, I would imagine it's kind of similar.

I have used "Fixin Wax" which is 1/2 beeswax and 1/2 tallow. It is solid at room temps though. So you have to warm it up by rubbing your hands together. Interestingly, the skin/scalp hair follicles have glands that make sebum which contains oils and waxes.
